The second strategic energy review, published by the European Commission in November 2008, gave new impetus to the discussion about energy security of supply in Europe. It contains concrete proposals on how to deal with risks and emergency situations and represents yet another stepping-stone towards a future European energy policy. Within the context of these proposals and linked to the importance of energy security on the EU political agenda in 2009, the fourth annual CEPS/Epsilon energy conference will look at how the EU and its energy sector can prepare for the challenges posed by global energy markets. It will deal with energy in the framework of general security issues but also in the light of the EU’s climate change policy. The external dimension of security of supply will feature prominently, focusing on Europe’s eastern partners, the growing role of the Mediterranean and the potential of developing countries in shaping the response of the EU to current supply risks. It will also assess the potential that new technologies and the more rapid diffusion of existing technologies has on the EU’s twin challenges; energy security and combating climate change.
